COVER ART DYSTOPIAN YA NOVEL ( YOUNG WOMAN and BACKGROUND ) $175-$300

We contracted Michael Brack ([link])for our previous DA offer, and applications are now open for our next project.

PROJECT: full color wraparound cover art for a dystopian novel for young people aged 14 and over. Both print and eBook editions will feature the cover. Typography is not required, however if you have experience in book cover typography, let us know.

PAYMENT: payment is in the range of $175-$300, depending on the final specs agreed upon – detailed background or not, typography or not, and so on. In addition, a bonus clause is included in our contract (if the book sells well, the artist could receive an extra bonus payment of $200, over and above the fee for the cover art.)

STORY: 16-year-old Damia, lives in an Orwellian society where she is being groomed for one of the most symbolic and powerful positions in the land. Stuck in a heavily guarded white palace and unable to lead a normal life, she wonders if she will ever meet a boy or have her first kiss. When Damia falls for a young man she can never have, she finds herself in a dangerous political game that could cost both their lives.

STYLE: We are open to any style featuring a young woman and juxtaposing themes of innocence and danger - traditional paintings, mixed media, photomanipulations etc. Iconographic art concepts will also be considered.

HOW TO APPLY: Please post here in the forum and/or send me a note including your name and e-mail address. Provide links to your gallery and any images that seem especially relevant.

APPLICATIONS CLOSE ON: Tuesday 13 November at midnight GMT. As long as your note or post is received before that time, your work will be considered.

WE ARE: a newly established independent transmedia publisher operated by a team with extensive experience in the publishing industry. We anticipate hiring for at least ten more projects over the next few months.

SELECTION PROCESS: I will post an acknowledgement/thanks here or send a note once I have reviewed your portfolio. Artists who are shortlisted will be notified and kept informed as my team makes its decision. I will announce our final choice in my journal.

Thank you for your interest and for your patience - it may take me a while to review every portfolio.

Devious Comments

I'm interested. Feel free to note me here on dA if you like my work. I do a lot of different styles and subjects - and never afraid to try new stuff. Below is included some of my best and more recent work, both sfw and nsfw.

I have exsperience from regular online commissions through dA and other sites. But I have also worked as an illustrator for a couple of book publishers in Denmark, where I live.

This offer is now closed. I am still reviewing portfolios for all who applied, and responding to all notes. Over 180 talented artists applied, so it's taking some time to get back to all of you. Thank you for your patience!

Hello, i am interested in your offer.will like to introduce myself , i am a professional digital artist , I am currently working as fulltime freelance digital artist here as i havejust lost my job. i hope i can earn some little amount from here till i geta new job. please support me by commission me. thank you.

I am holding a promotion of 3 artwork and you will get a free one on any of the catalog.

Your style is not the right fit for this project, but you may want to keep an eye on my romance cover offers. I have a Regency posted right now (probably not a goof fit for you), and I'll be posting a couple of contemporary and paranormal ones soon. Those could be worth a look for you - feel free to note me.

Thank you for giving thought to the subject matter of the project and posting relevent examples. Nice work! Your style is not quite right for this project, but I encourage you to apply again when I post graphic novel offers in December.
